Restoring my soul.

There are some people, I am sure , that are put on this earth to annoy, irritate, aggravate, bitch, moan and complain.

Another personal attack from a person that is in a position of responsibility, towards my daughter.  This time the insults became threats and I was told to let the system “work”.

My beautiful, self assured, intelligent, out spoken, stand up for herself girl is under attack again by people that she shouldn’t have to defend herself to.  This time last year she was bullied to the point of hurting herself.  She overcame that by building a wall of wit, humour and sometimes a hint of “get stuffed-ness”.  She does everything now at 150 miles per hour.  All in, no stopping.  To some (men) she is intimidating and “too aggressive for a 14 year old”.  She plays her game hard, with passion, with ingenuity and with stamina.  She puts all of her body into a play and doesn’t hold back, that ball is hers and woe betide anyone who gets in her way.

She does her job the same way, with passion; with soul, with attitude.  Truly sorry, not sorry, that this upsets some people.  Life is hard, life is tough, people make it that way, life is not fair as much as some would like to believe it is.  Prepare in your youth for the real world and you will not be shell-shocked by the crap you need to encounter as an adult.  As much as we want to keep our children safe from the world and safe from harm it’s not a reality, shit is going to happen, bad things will come,  our job as parents is to fully prepare our kids to take this on head on.  No sugar coating, no kisses on the boo boo’s – someone pushes you, you push back or pull in.  Sometimes a hug is better than a hell yeah.

Let me tell you as her mum, I am super proud of the girl she is now and of the woman she will become, because under that tough exterior beats a heart of gold.  She will always have someones back, she stands up for the underdog.  She has a soft gooey centre under that hard shell of an exterior and to those she lets in, you are privileged to know her, you are the chosen few. To her, you are special and she trusts you.

These jealous few are not worthy of my time or energy – however they continue to not only poke the bear cub but poke the mumma bear too.  Mumma bear is ready to pounce and pound and stomp.  I am on my last straw so look out you malicious, slanderous, poor excuses for humans – be warned there are ways to come back that you will not see.

Threaten my daughter again, threaten her way of life, her career choice, her sport choice and you will see the full force of this mumma bear. So keep complaining, keep threatening her, keep insulting her, keep ganging up on her.  You people are supposedly adults and you have ganged up on a CHILD. I hope you feel so good about yourselves.
